Navigating the World with a Gender-Fabulous Child

Posts tagged ‘school’

I heard that a staff member was speaking about R today. This staff member called her a monstrosity. Supposedly no one knows which staff member it was but we all know that’s a lie.
I am hoping that said staff member is so disturbed by R’s presence at the school that she quits and doesn’t come back next year. I have a feeling who it was but a feeling isn’t proof. Luckily R doesn’t know and didn’t hear about it.

It went SO well that she feels comfortable wearing a skirt tomorrow :).
Another child came up to my boss (the breakfast and lunch aide) and asked how R got permission to do this bc she has been telling her parents for years that she’s not a girl, she’s a boy and they just won’t listen to her. Broke my heart.
One little girl was a little confused about the bathroom situation but R, the principal and the bullying specialist explained it well.
Again, this little girl is my HERO!

She asked us to announce her transition. She then spent an entire day with her cousins as herself. No one used the wrong name or misgendered her. Sunday the Easter Bunny got her new name right.
Then came Monday night. The thought of going to school on Tuesday as a boy made her so upset. She originally wanted to wait until this summer to fully transition, but that’s all changed. As of April 13 she intends on being Rose ALL THE TIME.
Meeting with her principal today.
Here’s pics of her easter stuff
